As a real estate investor, you want to maximize your profits, minimize your risks and, if a dispute arises, you want tough, aggressive, persistent, creative representation. You want results. You want your problem solved as quickly and inexpensively as possible. We understand.

You want top lawyers who are respected by their peers. Lawyers at Lerman Law Partners come from top law schools, have decades of experience in real estate investment law and have received the highest ratings possible from peers (Martindale Hubbell® peer reviewed and rated "AV® Preeminent^TM"*, the highest rating possible). The Firm's managing partner, Jeff Lerman, was elected by his peers to be President of the Marin County Bar Association. Partner Michelle Lerman has been selected for inclusion in 2009 and 2010 Super Lawyers® . Only 5% of the lawyers in the state were so selected.

You want lawyers who have been recognized for their expertise. Lawyers at Lerman Law Partners are trusted resources for national and local television news programs, radio shows, podcasts and newspaper reporters. They are highly sought-after speakers for real estate investment clubs and real estate professional associations. They count among their client list many real estate investment club leaders.

You want lawyers who come with outstanding references from other clients. Michelle Lerman has been voted the "#1 Favorite Attorney for Marin/Sonoma" by the J. Weekly Newsmagazine Readers' Choice Award (2007). Please view our client testimonial video in the video library on this homepage and visit our client testimonials page.

You want lawyers who not only understand, but can anticipate, your needs. We focus on the unique concerns, needs and objectives of investors at every stage of the cycle of real estate ownership: acquisition, syndication, entity formation, asset protection, financing, development, construction, leasing, management and liquidation of real estate assets. At Lerman Law Partners, you also receive the benefits of integrated expertise in the areas of transactions, litigation and estate planning. The fact that we practice in each of these areas, makes us better in each area than we would be if we only practiced in one of those areas. For example, the fact that we are trial lawyers makes us better transactional lawyers because we have seen how and why transactional documents end up in court, and we can use that unique perspective to draft better documents to minimize future disputes. The fact that we handle estate planning makes us better transactional lawyers because we can identify and address estate planning issues in your documents. All of this gives you the convenience of one-stop shopping for your real estate legal needs.
